    Jim,Stacy, and Chad,
    So very sorry to hear about Altamay. I always enjoyed visiting with her when she was out for her walks. No words can fill the void you all are feeling, but hopefully you will find comfort in knowing she no longer is suffering. My deepest sympathy.

    Linda Molzahn and family (Barry, LaNae and Branded)
